Before permission to enroll can be granted, state of Connecticut General Statutes require each full-time or matriculating student born after December 31, 1956, to provide proof of adequate immunization against Measles, Mumps, and Rubella. Those students who were born after January 1, 1980 are also required to provide proof of immunization against Varicella (Chickenpox).

Below please find links to forms that must be completed by student’s and/or their healthcare providers to provide proof of compliance.

Immunization Exemptions

Students born prior to January 1, 1957 are exempted by age to immunization requirements.

The school of law will only permit vaccination waivers for religious or medical reasons. A signed statement indicating specific medical contraindication from your medical provider is required for medical exemption. A signed statement stating religious objections to immunization must be submitted in order to obtain a religious exemption. Exemption for either medical or religious reasons subjects the individual to exclusion from campus in the event of an outbreak of a disease for which immunizations are required.

Distance Learners do not need to meet the immunization requirements if all courses are on-line. It is each student's responsibility to notify the registrar’s office annually if that is the case.
